Let X = {Xt: t ≥ 0} be a
stationary piecewise continuous Rd-valued process that
moves between jumps along the integral curves of a given continuous vector
field, and let S ⊂ Rd be a smooth
surface. The aim of this paper is to derive a multivariate version of Rice's
formula, relating the intensity of the point process of (localized) continuous
crossings of S by X to the distribution of X0.
Our result is illustrated by examples relating to queueing networks and stress
release network models.
